Welcome to the world of Electrocompaniet We sincerely thank you for selecting an amplifier from Electrocompaniet. We hope you will enjoy years of listening pleasure and true high end musical performance from your audio system. Kindly read this owners manual to familiarise yourself with the set before operation. The Electrocompaniet Story Electrocompaniet was founded in 1973 in Oslo, Norway; to manufacture an amplifier designed by Per Abrahamsen.
The design features of Ampliwire 100 DMB After the Electrocompaniet 25 watt amplifier had established a new standard for transistor amplifiers, research was undertaken to find ways to make the amplifier even better, and to extend its highly musical sound quality to more powerful amplifier designs. The engineers at Electrocompaniet were not satisfied by only reducing the commonly recognised types of distortion to low levels.
Unpacking the amplifier: Immediately upon receipt of the amplifier, inspect the carton for possible damage during shipment. If the carton is visibly damaged, a claim must be filed with the carrier as soon as possible. Unpack the unit carefully, and please do remember to save all packaging materials for future shipment. The carton and packaging have been designed to offer the safest possible protection when transporting your amplifier.
Single-ended (normal) input and operation Upon arrival, the amplifier is set for single-ended use with a shorting plug in the negative RCA input. This will short the negative (-) input of the amplifier to ground. With shorting plugs in position, the amplifier is ready to be connected in a normal way with a single ended preamplifier. Balanced XLR input and operation The balanced mode can only be used if the preamplifier has a balanced output.
Replacing a blown main fuse: Always remove the AC cord from the Inlet The main fuse is located inside a small drawer in the AC inlet of the unit. If, for some reason the fuse blows, turn the unit off, and remove the AC cord from the inlet. Open the drawer with a small screwdriver and remove the broken fuse. The spare fuse is located in the hole in front of the main fuse. Push the new fuse gently out of the hole, and place it in correct position (where the blown fuse was removed).
Service Policy: When service is needed Your dealer will have all relevant information about the service centres in your area, and will ensure that your unit is serviced without delay. It is our general policy to have your amplifier returned to you within 5 working days. This is an average time, and could vary locally, depending on the workload at the service centre.
